Question 1 of 5
A student recorded the results of 50 spins of a game wheel. The table shows the number of times the wheel landed on each color.
| Color | Number of spins |
| --- | --- |
| Red | 18 |
| Blue | 12 |
| Green | 10 |
| Yellow | 10 |
Based on these results, what is the experimental probability that the next spin will land on blue?
Explanation
Experimental probability is found by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes. The favorable outcome is landing on blue, which happened 12 times. The total number of spins is 50. So the experimental probability is .
Concept summary
Experimental probability is calculated as using data from the table.
